[GMW #3088] Living Within The Means Of The Planet By Choice Or Necessity


[GMW #3088] Living Within The Means Of The Planet By Choice Or Necessity
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3488 ~
Reading a chapter from my book New Genesis I found that in 1982, when the book was published, the world population was 4.8 billion people. Well we are now 6 billion in October 1999 and will be 6.1 billion at the end of 2000, i.e. 1.2 billion more in eighteen years. And a child born today will live at the age of fifty in a world of 8.91 billion people, 2.8 billion more than today.

Does this not call for the convening of a United Nations World Population Emergency Conference as I repeatedly insist upon?

Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
I will repeat and repeat with all my mind, heart and soul what I have to say again and again until nations and all institutions on Earth will work harder for the good of all humanity and of the Earth.

[GMW #3087] A Joy And Duty To Dream - They Are Speaking To You Through Me


[GMW #3087] A Joy And Duty To Dream - They Are Speaking To You Through Me Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3487 ~
To dream as I dream is not only a joy but also a duty. It is the product of fifty years of world service. I have little personal merit. I am the result of the gifts and inputs of many, many people during my life. They as speaking to you through me.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
Sometimes during a speech I suddenly feel like crying. The tears come to my eyes. I cannot stop them. And some people in the audience cry too. I apologize and finish my speech by playing Beethoven's Ode to Joy on my ten-holes harmonica. This and the tears they never forget.

[GMW #3086] The Passionate Speech To Reach Far Beyond What We Are Saying


[GMW #3086] The Passionate Speech To Reach Far Beyond What We Are Saying Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3486 ~
I could have not delivered the passionate speech which obtained the creation of the UN Development Program (see Idea 1924 in Volume IV).

I could have not proposed that the rich countries stop burning their surplus agricultural crops to keep prices high, and to create instead a UN Fund to channel them to the hungry people of the world. (The World Food Program).

I could have not proposed to the World Bank to create a new agency helping them to give more favorable loans to poor countries. (The International Development Association)

I could have not written 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World. Perhaps a few more good miracles will happen, God willing and you dear reader too.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
O, God, help us to reach far beyond what we are saying. Isn't it possible to unlock the ultimate mystery, to hear You speak?

[GMW #3085] Extol Ideas And Dreams Especially Those Said To Be Impossible


[GMW #3085] Extol Ideas And Dreams Especially Those Said To Be Impossible Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3485 ~
What one human person can do:

Reading the final copy of Ideas 3001 to 3500 before printing I learned with astonishment the size of the following international aid programs I helped to create.

The United Nations Development Program which matches the combined aid of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank:

The World Food Program which is the biggest aid program in the world, even bigger than the United Nations Development Program:

The International Development Association linked with the World Bank which complements the classical loans of the World Bank with concessional aid at more favorable interest rates and repayment conditions than those of the Bank.

What a satisfaction this was to me. After all it pays to have ideas and dreams and not to accept that they are impossible.

I must open a file on the successes I had in my life. More and more come back to my mind.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
O God, grant me many more years to sing and celebrate the greatness of Your Creation, of the miracle of human life and of our miraculous Earth.

[GMW #3084] No Exceeding Limits That Have Severe Consequences Especially Over The Long Run


[GMW #3084] No Exceeding Limits That Have Severe Consequences Especially Over The Long Run

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3484 ~
The Earth:

"Dear Robert, the same way as there is a Kyoto Convention on the limits and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in the various countries of the world there should also be a world commission and a convention on the maximum surfaces of highways, roads and streets allowed per each one hundred thousand inhabitants in each country of the world."


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking

When you listen to me, when you read me, you do not merely give me your attention and your time, you give me part of your most precious possession: your life. My communication with you must therefore be as precious as your life's expectation.
